MN350 is a dynamic, volunteer-led grassroots organization building a people’s movement to demand that Minnesota take a leadership role in addressing the climate crisis in a just and sustainable way. Programs include:
The following internships are currently available:
Outreach and event planning: Help build a vibrant climate justice movement by talking with people through tabling outreach, and planning fun and creative events to grow our power to make change.
Fundraising: Interested in gaining valuable fundraising experience and skills? MN350 is looking for interns to help with a variety of logistics and coordination to bring in new MN350 Action monthly members!
Pipeline Resistance: Help build the campaign to stop the Line 3 tar sands pipeline which is proposed to run through northern Minnesota. Line 3 would have the same climate change impact as 50 coal plants. The specific focus of this internship can be individualized based on skills and interest. Major needs include writing, public outreach, event/action planning, and building coalition relationships.
Activities might include helping to pull off a large march or action, improving MN350’s written materials related to Line 3, generating opinion pieces for traditional media, supporting educational house parties, etc. Interns will be assigned to a staff or volunteer leader on the pipeline campaign based on skill areas they would like to develop.
Food Systems: Help build a just transition to a food system that is local, equitable toward all who depend on it, and mindful of its impact on future generations. Major needs include database creation, coalition-building, policy tracking, and much more, all within the context of our local and regional food system landscapes.
Data and Technology: Dirty data in, dirty data out! Besides relationships, data is the most important foundation to the movement. Work on improving data and technology use relating to the database, data collection, and more, including.
We work with people from diverse backgrounds. Interns would benefit from having experience working in groups, and managing projects, strong interpersonal and writing and communication skills. Bi-lingual in Spanish is a plus but not required.
This internship is unpaid. Students can frequently arrange to receive academic credit for our internships if allowed by their institution. To apply, decide which project/s you are most interested in, and send your resume and cover letter to info@mn350.org.
